The peculiarity of this design — the hunters on horseback and the shape of animals and flowers — makes me think the designer wasn't just referencing a Mughal painting. They were using a design that David Evans & Company made for Drake's in the 1990s.

As a company, Drake's has always worked with historic British mills and makers. In the early 1990s, Michael Drake and his assistant Stephen Linard approached David Evans — their longtime printer — about doing something inspired by Michael's trip to Kashmir some years earlier.

Drake's of London is a menswear label that started in the 1970s, initially with men's accessories, but having since grown to a full line of apparel. They are known for many things, but this print is perhaps their most famous. It appears on scarves, pocket squares, and even ties.

David Evans at the time had an amazing design team that illustrated and colored all of the pieces individually by hand. They came up with the design you see below, inspired by the Mughal paintings you see above. These were silk screened by hand onto scarves and later pocket squares.

Some will recognize these motifs as Mughal paintings, which flourished on the Indian subcontinent sometime between the 16th and 18th century. But menswear nerds will recognize them as something else: Drake's of London.

If I remember rightly this character is Mughal which makes this exceptionally funny. Brb googling “gunpowder empire”
I do not think a willingness to use guns for conquest is a distinctively British trait, but so far this book has not for a moment considered that it isn’t. The characters making this claim are torn only because they’re hypocrites for being at Oxford, not because it’s, you know, historically bonkers
